Talking Out in Meeting.

New Albany Public Press tDem).
The Herald is the servant of no faction and
never has been. but it makes no pretentions of
being wiser than its party It supports the
Democratic party because it believes in Demo
cratic principles and has no disposition to get
out of the party because few men who call
themselves Democrats may occasionally act the
fool-Madison Herald
If the Herald be s'the servant of no faction
and never has been" its columns belle tho state
ment. The Herald has been among the loudest-
mouthed defenders of the Green Smith faction
of revolutionists and demaeogues. and it can
not truthfully deny it. If Green Smith and his
aiders and abettors in stealing the Lieutenant
governorship be the Democratic party, then the
Herald is not wiser than its party"
II the Green Smith faction to dictate to
and control the Democratic party in Indiana, or
if the party Idorse the sections of those detesta-
BILE demaeogues there will be little left of 1t at
the next election.
The people entirely too observing too in
telligent and too honest to ndorse the actions of
political thieves, it matters not whether they be
labeled Democrats or Republicans
The Herald may regard mugwumprv as Dem
ocratic principles, and, of course it .has no dis
position to get out of the party or out of the
Madison postoffice because the Presiden. keeps
Republicans in Office and the Indiana Senate
steals the office of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, and de-
fes and insults the will of the majority of the
voters of the State.
The Public Press proposes to ROMAN with the
honest voters of the Democratic party, and it
will continue to hold up to public gaze political
scoandrels. though they may claim To be Demo-
Gratis and insist that they are masters anG the
people the servants.

How kind they are to the negro! They allow
him life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,
so long as he does not overstep that imaginary
line of social equality. If riot were to occur
and the colored militia were to do the fighting
to suppress it, as it probably would do. Pey-
ton Bibb and his True Blues would not OBJ
ject. But the moment the negro enters
competitive drill. these blooming asses say he
is making an effort at social equality, and they
won't play. The national encampment, how
ever, will stagger along without these Ala
bamians, who have not manhood enough
about them to overcome prejudice that i'll
these days is ridiculous; and the negro COM
panies will be there and will be respected.

THE Washington correspondent of the
Louisville Courier-J ournal devotes a column
to abuse of Congressman Holman and Hon.
Sam Randall. The occasion is an interview
with Holman, in the New York Herald, in
which he compliments Randall, and, by i'm
plication, himself for their work on the appro-
prations committee. As compliment to
Randall is a dig at Carlisle, the Courier
Journal correspondent proceeds to handle the
parties of the first part without gloves They
are characterized a "two men who constantly
use their official positions to accomplish their
own personal and selfish ends" Again, "the
House has been run over rough-shod by these

DEMOCRATIC HARMONY.

Another Sample of 1t in the Southern Part
of the State-A Recent appointment.
New Albany Public Press tDem.)
For the past eighteen years. Capt James N
PAXTON, OF this city. has been acting as deputy
United States marshal for the court in this
vicinity. He was regarded by common consent,
an honest, earnest faithful, capable and cour-
ageous officer, and all the marshals and officers
of the courts under whom he served will so GER
tify. He did not drag politics into his official posi-
tion nor was he an offensive partisan in the
slightest sense
Edward Hawkins, appointed United States
marshal by a Democratic administration, claim
ing to be honest and decent, notified Captain
Payton to turn over all his papers, writs, ETC.,
to Joseph Loesch, whom he had appointed in his
stead
Loesch is now holding the Office of county
sheriff, having been elected to the place by u
decreased majority of about one thousand votes.
In palmer terms, he ran thousand votes be-
hind the regular ticket. He vas barely elected
as Democrat in county giving the usual DEM
ocratic majority Of ZOO votes Loesch has
been an extravagant, stupid, incompetent, ig-
norant, unaccommodating official for the past
two years, and it now seems that because Of
lack OF qualifications another Office is forced
upon him.
Had Marshal Hawkins raked and scraped
the county with inetoothed comb, or issued a
search warrant for dense ignorance and general
stupidity, he could not have succeeded better
Besides being totally incompetent for the
placo III oCner respects, ne lacks the requisite OF
courage in lamentabe degree. This COM
munity know him as coward, sneak and
violator of the law.
Loesch recently pleaded guilty to an assault
and battery. and was fined in the police court Of
the city. He was peace officer. sworn to en-
force law, and yet violated it, and received a
handsome thrashing for his crime and folly.
Not long since he figured in a case in the Har-
rson Circuit Court, where he was charged with
trying to swindle q friend and neiehbor out of
his just dues.
Only few years ago this same Loesch, now q
deputy United States marshal. under a reform
Democratic administration, was charged with
violating the revenue laws that he is now called
upon to execute.
1t is sufficiently outrageous for one ignorant,
stupid iackass to hold one Office that he cannot
6ll but when sham civil service and aristocracy
of Office methods go so far rs TO bestow upon
such creature two places Of honor and trust,
people lose their patience and rebel.
In the light of such events, Democratic defeat
will not be wondered at If thieves. incompe
tents and ignorant jackasses are to be loaded
down with official favor, the people will come to
the conclusion that the Democratic party con-
tains other kind of men.
If those who manage the affairs of the party
are endeavoring to do the very worst that can be
done for the party, let the criminals in the
penitentaries be turned loose and appointed to
all the places of trust and profit

THE administration is now wrestling with

The ADMINISTRATOR IS now wrestling with the
reform question as applied to towels. The mo-
mentous issue grows out of the washing of the
towels used in the Treasury Department. The
washerwomen have been charging so cents a
dozen. The laundries took the work at 40 cents
per hundred This resulted in apparent saw
ing of about $1,000 year. but the washer
women came forward with expert testimony to
show that the lauudres destroy the towels by
using chemicals. and that the added cost for
new material makes the laundry experiment the
most expensive ore in the end 1t will be in
order now for the laundrymen to show that the
washermomen are offensive partisans and ought
not to wash for Democratic administration at
any price. Turn the rascals out.
